The Cabin!

Every year we go to a cabin with some friends and here are just a few pictures from this year's trip.

Tyler was so good to play with the kids. They loved watching him play video games. Most the time they got in the way, but Tyler was a good sport.

There is a pond just down the hill from the cabin and we went froggie hunting. We did end up finding one frog. But it got away before I could take a picture of it.

Clara is about 6 months older than Landen, but they had a good time playing together. Johnny is teaching them how to fake laugh. They really enjoyed it.

Where did May go???

May just flew by! Between Landen turning one, swim lessons, and Kristen getting married in 9 days, we have been very busy! Not to mention, I had my last day of work on May 29th. That's right, I no longer clean toilets!!!!!! I'm just excited to get summer going, that is after the wedding. But, here are just a few pics from recent events.

One night Rob and I rented Yes Man with Jim Carrey. We tried a few times to put Landen down to sleep with extreme failure. So I decided to have him sit on my lap until he fell asleep. Well, he didn't. That's right, he watched the entire movie. This is a picture of him walking around in his sleep sack looking just a little like Maggie from the Simpson's. Landen finally went to sleep at midnight after being awake for a total of 10 hours! (By the way, he loves to flush the toilet. Hence the picture.)

Rob's birthday was on Sunday and yesterday we went out to spend his loot. We walked into Fanzz "Just to look" and walked out with too Jazz jerseys. The sales lady was really nice to us and gave us a really good discount on both the jerseys. Landen looks absolutely adorable in his jersey. Rob is excited already for the new season.

These legs were meant for walking...

Landen was getting quite confident on his feet this week, and then this morning, he didn't need any help. The only time he grabs onto something is when he is trying to pull himself back up. He just walks from room to room. I think he is just exicted about his new talent and is walking anywhere he can. I love it! And, don't mind the little bag hanging out of his mouth. He loves to hold things in his mouth for some reason. And every time he dropped it while he was walking, he would stop to pick it up. So, it was hard getting a picture with out his accessory.

The Adventures of Landen!

Landen has been very interested in the shower for quite some time. He has recently learned how to step up into the shower all by himself. Today he played in there for awhile and I was able to snap some pictures.

This morning while Landen's chair was moved, he discovered a new cabinet. Needless to say...he went to town. He took just about everything out of the cabinet. He was quite excited about his new discovery. After his nap, he knew just where to go. He even moved his chair out of the way so he could get to the cupboard.

Fun in the Sun!

A couple of days again when it was really nice weather outside Kristen and I took Landen to the park. He just loved the swings again. These were the only pictures I took before my camera died (drats!).

The Park

Landen and I went to Beus Pond today. He loved the swings and playground. He wants so badly to be big and play with the other kids. He got pretty mad at me when I wouldn't let him climb up onto the slide after he watch some other kids do it. So, after attempting the playground for a while we fed the ducks and walked around the pond. It was a nice little outing.

The Zoo!

On Saturday we went to the zoo. We couldn't let the nice weather pass us up, and it was the first day off Rob had had in about a month. Landen really loved the zoo. He kept trying to talk to the other kids around us, and by the end he was interested in the animals as well.

The elephants were just about the first thing we went to, and he really liked watching them.

Playing at Grandma and Grandpa's!

Landen played at my parents' house for the first time in a few days. He was quite excited to have other toys to play with. These are just a few of the pictures that my dad took while Landen was playing.

Landen is getting pretty good at walking. Today he walked behind this hippo that his Aunt Karen gave him. He loved it! Most of the pictures I took didn't turn out because Landen was just a blur. When he ran into something he would cry until we moved him so he could continue. It was really quite cute!

I need some help!!!

I'm going crazy! Landen will not sleep during the day. A couple of weeks ago he was taking one morning nap, and one two hour nap from 12-2, and he was sleeping 10 1/2 hours at night (which is a marathon for him). Life was good. This last week, it is like he has forgotten how to sleep. So, he just screams in his crib for hours. I'm losing my mind!!! It is so bad that I actually left one of my GAS burners on ALL NIGHT!! The only reason we caught it is because the people up stairs smelled gas. We hadn't noticed it because the flame had gone out. So gas leaked into our house all night long. I don't know how much of this I can take! Does ANYONE have ANY suggestions?

Morning Hair

Landen gets some pretty good morning hair going on sometimes. It's pretty cute.

So much hair!

Landen has so much hair that I have to do it every morning. I have to actually get it wet, put detangler in it, comb it, and blow dry it. So, he sits on the washer while I do all of this to him. He is a pretty good sport about it since he loves the blow dryer. After it is all done, he looks so cute. I love how curly the back of his hair is.

Sesame Street!

We recently bought the 25th celebration dvd of Sesame Street. It is a musical celebration and has all the old songs on it too. For instance, "It's not easy being green", "C is for cookie", "Rubber Duckie", and so on. He really enjoys watching it and I can't get him to sit to watch. Since he began walking around furniture that is all he wants to do. He loves standing at the tv and watching cartoons. I like it too because it gives me just enough time to get some little things done.

This is what happens when you turn your back

Landen found where we keep our Liahona's and Ensign's. Needless to say, that Liahona is a goner! We kept the remnants of this Liahona just in case he decides to go on a rampage again. We put it right in front so he won't get to any other magazines.
